You may think sawing straight is very difficult
and that only professionals can do it. But,
using the Saw Guide, you can make precise
cuts just like professional carpenters do. It ’s
ideal for users who always need to cut precise
90° straight cuts, both right and left 45° angle
cuts or inclined 45° angle cuts. From picture
frames to practical and useful household and
garden furniture of your own, the Guide will
definitely be an indispensable tool for your
D.I.Y. activities.
※Read the instruction prior to use, and keep it for future reference.
